>>45580021I mean, it's real hard to deviate from the path a lot of the time.
Almost everyone's run of these games is
>starter>first flying pokemon since waiting until later means you can't use fly right away in gen 1 for instance, the only pokemon that can learn fly are fearow, pidgeotto, and aerodactly. Are you really going to wait until Cinnabar to learn fly?>some sort of strong water type (if your starter wasn't water), most normally Gyarados since the game gives you magikarp for free a lot of the times and in gen 2 gives you a shiny gyaradosThen you just fill in whatever you want for the last 3 slots, but normally people aren't going to use shitmon without a reason and that reason is usually a challenge like monotype, nuzlocke, trashlocke, etc.
Hell, Gen 2 is filled with so much shitmon (with half the good pokemon being locked to postgame Kanto) that almost everyone's team is Starter > One of 2 flying types > Ampharos > Shiny Gyarados > Heracross > Crobat/Gligar/Sneasel
